Synopsis
Ari Folman, in collaboration with his art director David Polonsky, has transcribed his award-winning 2008 animated biographical documentary into the form that inspired it. In the story, a friend from his military service days in the 1980s tells Ari about the nightmares he's been having related to their experiences during war in Lebanon. Ari speaks with several other friends, as he realizes that he has completely suppressed his memories of those times. Frightened by what he might uncover, he nonetheless decides to look deep and ask hard questions in order to come to terms with his past.

In Beirut in September 1982, while Israeli soldiers secured the area, a Christian militia entered the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila and massacred hundreds, if not thousands, of Palestinians. Ari Folman was one of those Israeli soldiers, but for more than twenty years he remembered nothing of that night. Then came a friend's disturbing dream and with it Folman's need to excavate the truth of the war in Lebanon and answer the crucial question: What was he doing during the hours of slaughter at Sabra and Shatila? Stunningly original in form, Waltz with Bashir follows Folman's journey deep into the darkness of Beirut. Drawing on the stories of other soldiers and his own returning fragments of memory, Folman painfully and candidly pieces together the war and his place in it: the senselessness of the soldiers' orders; the fear that pervades every moment; the casual bloodshed of civilians, culminating in the massacres themselves. The result is a graphic novel that is as damning as it is beautiful. An indictment of violence of extraordinary power, Waltz with Bashir will take its place.

Industry Reviews
"A potent and profound document of war and its aftermath done as a cartoon...hallucinatory brilliance in the service of understanding
the psychic damage of war." (Describing the film.)
(01/22/2009)

"Utilizing frames that seem cut straight from the film, the book threads together Polonksy's darkly gleaming nightmare drawings into a seamless whole."
